Spring trends: bow mules

Thursday, May 24, 2018

It's hard to say where and when mules came back into fashion, but I'd like to thank whoever is responsible for it. As someone with narrow heels whose shoes often slip in the back, I find them incredibly comfortable and surprisingly flattering on the foot, too. There are so many different kinds out there, from dainty and kitten-heeled to streamlined and flat, but my favorites incorporate some sort of bow or twist into the design. They're very feminine overall, but with many interpretations of the trend, there's really something for everyone.

1. I love the polka-dot pattern and the exaggerated bow-tie on these flats. You could get away with wearing them to work, but they'd be equally perfect for the weekend.Sole Society Pear mules $69.97

2. These are a blatant knockoff of the Balenicaga kitten-heel mules, but I have a feeling that most Forever 21 shoppers don't have $750 to blow on the real thing. That said, I love the shape of these, and that heel looks totally doable.Forever 21 bow mules $24.90

3. I could have included these in my mustard roundup but thought they'd be even better here. Also flat, I love the cutout detail. The bow is high enough on the instep that these should stay on comfortably as well.Jeffrey Campbell Charlin mules $109.95

4. With a floral print and oversized bow, these mules are uber-girly, and yet I'm totally in love with them. The chunky heel looks nice and sturdy, and prevents them from going overboard with the cuteness.Rebecca Minkoff Calista slides $90

5. Neutral color, sturdy but not too high heel, floppy bow, open toe...what's not to love about these suede mules? This is the type of shoe I could see myself wearing all summer.Vince Camuto Sharrey mules $110

6. Just in time for Memorial Day, these have kind of a kitschy print, but it's balanced out by the sculpted kitten heel and sweet bow detail. I have a similar pair and they make your legs look miles long, too.J.Crew Sophia mules $49.98

Whoo these are all lovely Cheryl. I would find it hard just to pick one pair :) Thanks so much for sharing your post with us at Welcome To The Weekend Blog Hop. Have a great weekend and we hope to see you soon! #Weekendbloghop
